Engine breakdown... pt16 Completed!

Yes the final bit done - removing the crank from the block. Just four bolts on the front and rear main bearing caps holding it in place.

The crank looks ok, the big ends and main bearing surfaces are marked/stained from the sitting in the oil for so long, but I'm fitting new shells and this time I'm going to us a 20W/50 mineral oil for the first 500 miles of running in.

I then gave the block a good clean/degrease in preparation for a coat of black paint and the rebuild!
